They were great -- fit really well, nice and soft --  until I washed them.  Then fitted sheet shrunk so much, it barely fits the mattress (these are supposedly made for a 19" deep mattress... mine is 12"), and the flat sheet shrunk literally by inches -- it's now barely long enough to tuck in.  A ton of threads emerged from seams... I'm afraid to see what happens on the second washing.  And now they're super scratchy.  Bummer.  And, yes, I did follow washing instructions.
